Steel Forgings Production Flow
Incoming material inspection → systematic unloading and secure storage → preliminary quality evaluation → controlled preheating to forging temperature → precision shaping through open-die or closed-die forging → heat treatment (quenching and tempering) to optimize mechanical performance → intermediate inspection to verify internal integrity → rough machining to approximate final geometry → detailed non-destructive testing (NDT) to detect internal and surface defects → final dimensional and quality verification → protective packaging → delivery to customer.
